Customer Success Testimonial: Recovery is Everything

Round-up It's got to be the most exciting event in science since Thomas Edison electrocuted elephants in order to try and discredit Nikola Tesla! It's like finding a Cornish-speaking Flores Hobbit nurturing a Higgs boson particle behind an invisible garden shed! It's [get on with it - Ed]...

Yes, it's Chrome, the browser by Google, and it displays web pages. To make sense of this landmark event, and the deluge of stories it's generated, we've put all the links in one place.

All in one place

Thanks for the 'one stop shop' round-up, El Reg

Google wants to know enough - far too much in fact - about me already so I won't be trying Chrome any more than I'll be signing up to Gmail. I simply don't trust Google not to snoop on me. Mountain View or Redmond - same place, same attitudes, same greed.

Bastards, the lot of 'em.

Dr Sergeylove, or how I stopped worrying and learned

to love our new Google overlords. No crashes so far in this Chrome thingy, and neither lightning fast nor molasses slow either. Just another browser, except that it is of course being produced by people who do no evil. Maybe if I say that often enough I can convince them that I believe it.

Here we go again

Chrome I/O, Chrome I/O, wherefore art thou Chrome I/O?

Any time you've got nothing to do - and lots of time to do it - Chrome on up.

Hi, Ho, the carrion Chrome bow and bend to me.

Stop me before I Chrome again. Apologies to all, especially to I. Bard, M. West, G. Dead.
